An Instagram video with the caption ‘Seasons Greetings’ seemingly confirms that a piece of graffiti which appeared last night was his – much to the excitement of the people of Port Talbot, Wales, was, in fact, a Banksy. The art which appeared on two sides of a wall of a garage, depicts a child playing with snow, while the other side reveals the snow is ash from a skip fire.

Ian Lewis, the owner of the garage, has said, “I am very pleased, I think it is a smashing bit of artwork. It is good for the town and I just want to protect it, it is here for everybody.” said to BBC news.The buzz over the artwork from the town over speculation whether or not it was a Banksy original was enough to get the residents of Port Talbot visiting the garage as soon as they could.

This turned up this morning in Taibach, Port Talbot. Looks like a Banksy. Hope it is. But I love it anyway. Expresses the town…. Fire, pollution and naivete #banksypic.twitter.com/0IfdMkHnmh
